Christmas Eve at the Jackdaw’s

[Mrs K. Saunders]

Katherine watches the chaos unfold. She internally admonishes herself, she should have given Helen limitations. Trust Helen to twist the words and not follow the spirit of the request. Fine, if she wants to play dirty, then so can she.

As William is distractedly having a drink; Katherine goes to Ellen and where Helen’s body lies. Using the Prince’s gift blade she places it over Helen’s cheek. Well, Erika said use her claws, remember to be edgy. Using telepathy she reaches out to Helen’s mind. She is surprised when Helen accepts the call. Using the ring from Egypt she also invites Jack into conversation.

(I hope you are having fun with all the kissing in William’s body. I am thinking of all the fun I could have with your stationary body and my new knife. Perhaps you would like to make sure the police are not called to my house by my neighbours? After all the men causing an indecent disturbance. I was wondering if a wider smile could be put on your face or perhaps my initials. Or of course I could forget that and go straight for the heart if you won’t stop.)

She gently rubs the side of the blade playing on Helen’s cheek. God she felt good this evening. Is this what being a vampire is really like?

Ellen looked at her Mistress with pure disbelief, cradling the baby closer to her.

“Ellen... Ellen.” Katherine says gently, “You and child have nothing to fear.”

[Trevor Jackdaw]

Who is this? He asks himself. What has been done. He moves to Ellen. 'Ellen if you would go upstairs and take the child with you I believe that would be best for all involved.'

He move his knife from his pocket to obfuscated within his hand.

He will move to Kathrine. 'I wouldn't suggest a blade. Fortitude bypasses really all pain involved. Put down the knife Kat.' His words are cool and collected. Almost as if his only concern was his wife wasting her own time.

[Mrs K. Saunders]

She tuts and puts the blade away.

“She has got to learn somehow that she cannot treat me like this.”

[annabelle]

William relaxes in the sofa while hearing Katherine's message. A smile of appreciation in his face and then confusion.

Helen wakes up back in her body and smiles at Katherine and Jackdaw softly. She slaps Katherine's hand with the knife away with a bored look. She hikes her skirt up with no shame and she takes the blade she had strapped there all the time.

She doesn't look ready for compat, seemingly relaxed in the sofa starring at them. A warning that she will initiate compat if pushed too far.

"If she continues like that she will get herself killed Jackdaw." and she releases a soft sigh and there is a genuine worry there.

"And I am the last person to give self preservation advices really."

She stands up "Your hospitality was... Interesting...now time to leave, except if you want me to stay to help you with the police and neighbours. In that case a trivial boon from you Elder Jackdaw for this will make me surpass all the offences your wife inflicted on me and help you. Crossbows and knifes won't work, you can stab me all you want and we can play all night to see who is better with the knife. It's up to you. But quite frankly my dominate won't be that effective if I am more wounded."

And she shrugs her shoulders casually explaining the situation practically.

[Trevor Jackdaw]

He narrows an eye. ''You seem to have two things wrong. The first is assuming your help is worth torturing over. I pride myself on an extensive first hand knowledge of the subject. But I also pride myself on never needing it for my needs.''

He smiles to himself as if remembering a history with a certain wistfulness in his eyes. ''The second is assuming your worth even a trivial to me. You may take your leave. The neighbours and police won't be an issue unless you you wish to become a greater inconvenience and cause issues with them.''

[Mrs K. Saunders]

“Helen, all I wanted was for you to stop and you have. Thank you. You have pretended to threaten me in the past, and I have now pretended to threaten you. I would say we were equal. Yes, you would beat me. I am well aware of that, but I have to stand up for myself despite the danger. You have taught me that. You have been a good influence on me, don’t get concerned about it now. Let us try and carry on. You have had your fun and so have I. There is no need for there to be a permanent problem.

“Jack, she needs to fix the street scene. Men in a kissing orgy outside my house is not easily covered up. I believe that William declared that I personally condoned it too. My opinions don’t matter but the police and my neighbours do.”

“Helen, I ask you as a friend to fix this. No boon should have to be paid. I gave you hospitality in my haven, you needed to be a good guest in return.”

[annabelle]

Helen tilts her head to the side and grins at both of them. Her voice gentle and calm. Polite and firm.


"There is no orgy, I made them kiss for some minutes that's all. Still that doesn't mean police won't interfere of course. It's still a crime." she says waiving her hand dismissively.

"We are not even no. Will gladly accept the trivial boon to do it. Is not an easy task, I'll need to feed to regain my strength and then invade the houses via dominate. It requires precision and skill to eliminate any future complications. If your Sire believes he has it under control then my presence here is not needed. Will not spend so much strength of mine for free for something that you can do yourself."


And she takes some steps towards the door.

"Had a blast, you are both marvelous hosts. Farewell!"

[Trevor Jackdaw]

Jackdaw turns back to the living room. He starts getting the room back into some semblance of order. He starts with anything blood stained. Removing them and taking them to another room were they can later be cleaned. A curse on Helen. If it wouldn't have caused more blood staining he'd have cut her for this.

[Mrs K. Saunders]

“Jack, leave that. You should not have to sort it. The neighbours and the possible arrival of the police is much more problematic. We have to get this fixed. How will be if Mrs Saunders is known for holding scandalous parties for homosexuals? Everything will be ruined.”

[annabelle]

In the meantime, Helen is walking around wearing her ghoul's long coat to cover her torn dress, looking for Jerome to depart.
